It's been years since I've watched Buffy, and I basically sort of stopped midway through season 4 because it had become a slog, but I remember looking forward to the end of 3 simply because we were both graduating in '99. And then they pushed back the episode because of Columbine, which….a giant SNAKE, for fuck's…

Oh fuck, now I can hear it again too, and I didn't watch it either.

Ooohhh. Yeah, fuck, I don't get that either. It was a slog.

I hate that we added to that. And I didn't even want to see the damn thing.

It had awesome special effects for the time. That's all I remember. Mom took me to it at the cheap theater (and I didn't have a choice in the matter), but I do remember being thrilled at the first real sight of dinosaurs because holy shit did they look awesome.

My memory of it was that Noxon actually hated it, which is why the whole rape thing happened.

No, the former CEO was her brother.

Sean Duffy represents the far northwestern portion, but otherwise, it's a solid point. They're all around here.

Clearly you don't drive around the rural areas much. I'm not even twenty miles north of Milwaukee and one of our school districts has a senior "ride your tractor to school" day, I shit you not.

I wish I could. That chuckle fuck is from my area.

What, you don't like the fact our budget is so shot, we're going to be reverting some rural roads from paved back to gravel to save on fixing them? It's retro!

I'm guessing your friend didn't get the joke that the entire movie's premise is basically flipped from what Western audiences assume is "white hero, Asian sidekick."

Me too. The regular stuff is way too sickly, though I've noticed the cane sugar variety is actually tolerable once in a while. But diet is what I stick with.

I hate cilantro with the passion of a thousand suns, which is damned awkward when you're half Mexican and eat plenty of the food.

EL James is a Brit. The woman who wrote Twilight is a Mormon. So one step removed, I guess, you can blame them.

I just had to watch that for one of my last classes for my Masters. Anyone who thinks Latin American immigrants coming here illegally are somehow "lazy" needs to watch it. And, if nothing else, to realize what shit they're running from as well.

It's also basically bullshit, but that's to be expected when one is writing a holy book trying to explain why they can't find their way out of the desert for 40 years.

He has a right to say that he advocates peaceful ethno-cleansing, and we have the right to disabuse him of that notion by telling him "fuck you." Or punching him. Which is far, far less than what he thinks should be done to us.

Pretty much. I tried looking for one just this past month, and they're long gone, which is hilariously shitty. eBay still has some new units in box, but that's it.

She hasn't exhausted the known Peters in the Marvel universe yet.
